(Final Battle – Subject 00: Phase 1/3)
The four of you stood together, backs straight, breaths steady, eyes locked on the being that should never have awakened.
Subject 00 stepped forward, no longer curious—just calculating.
"Your resistance is… inconvenient," it said.
Then it changed.
Its flesh darkened into armor-like plating, silver veins glowing red now. Eyes turned to slits. A second set of arms unfolded from its back, each humming with raw Genesis energy.
Phase 1: The Hunter Form.
It struck first—blinding speed. Ada spun through the air, narrowly dodging one strike while launching a grappling hook into 00's shoulder. You followed up with a plasma round, timed perfectly with Lia's midair energy burst.
Kairo flanked from the opposite side, dual blades formed from crystallized crimson energy. His movements were synced with Lia's now—flawless.
You shouted over the chaos, "Split his focus!"
Ada kicked off the wall, blade in hand. "Then hit the core!"
The four of you danced around the battlefield, coordinated strikes and counters—a family trained by war, sharpened by love. Together, you forced Subject 00 to a knee.
Then it laughed.
And everything changed.
Phase 2: The Revenant Core Form
"You want evolution? You'll witness extinction."
Subject 00 detonated its outer shell—sending everyone flying.
When the smoke cleared, it was no longer humanoid.
Now it was ascended—a 10-foot being wrapped in violet and crimson tendrils of energy, levitating with no visible legs, its voice echoing like a chorus.
It pointed at you and Ada. "You were the past. They are the mistake."
Energy surged outward—a black hole of power.
Kairo dropped to a knee, shielding Lia. "We can't hold this…"
You stepped forward, burned and bruised. "Lia. Kairo. Focus. Now."
Ada turned to them too. "You know what we taught you. Together."
Lia's hands lit up in violet flame. Kairo's aura flared red-hot.
And in that moment—their power synchronized.
You saw it.
The fusion wasn't physical—it was spiritual. A harmonizing of energy frequencies. One born from fire and legacy, the other forged from survival and will.
They stood.
Side by side.
And merged their energy into a single strike—a spiraling lance of violet-red light.
Lia and Kairo shouted together:
"For the future!"
They launched it.
It pierced through 00's chest.
But it wasn't enough.
Phase 3: The Final Genesis Form – Null Ascension
"You cannot destroy what you were born from."
Subject 00's body imploded—then reformed as a humanoid silhouette made of pure light and code. Its voice became mechanical, almost… sorrowful.
"This was never meant to be war. You were meant to replace me."
It raised its hands, forming massive constructs of energy—blades, shields, wings. Time distorted around it. The battlefield twisted.
You stepped forward again.
Ada beside you.
Lia and Kairo behind.
One last stand.
You locked hands with Ada—her eyes fierce. Then placed your other hand on Lia's shoulder. She reached out to Kairo.
The four of you connected, and in that instant—
A new form was born.
Not a fusion of bodies—
—but of purpose.
Four auras ignited at once, spiraling around you like a storm: red, violet, silver, and gold.
Together, you formed a Celestial Unity Pulse—a legendary strike drawn from everything you were: lover, warrior, parent, child, survivor.
You charged.
Subject 00 met you midair.
Silence.
Flash.
Impact.
Reality snapped.
When the light faded, you were on your knees.
Subject 00 stood, a massive wound across its chest… then crumbled—its light flickering out as it whispered:
"…thank you…"
And was gone.
Ash fell again.
But this time, the sky was blue.
It was finally over.
And you stood as one—family, alive, and free.
